Building a fundraising page

How?

A fundraising page is a special website that's accessible to your family, friends and colleagues. You can share a special message of inspiration, start a blog, share an image or video; and raise funds for charity or a cause.

Anyone is invited to make donations and leave a message of support to you, as the fundraiser. Donations are tallied and displayed in the fundraiser page meter for everyone to see. Donations are automatically processed and transferred to your selected charity or cause.

Individual or team

We need to know if you're creating an individual fundraising page, or joining a team. There are two types of teams; a single team or a team with many pages.

Create your individual page

Challenge yourself by making your own personalised web page and set your own fundraising target to ask your friends to contribute toward.

Join an existing team

Have you received an invitation to join a team? Just follow this link to join your nominated team. You will need the password given to you by your team leader.

Create a new team

Creating a team is a fun way to get your friends together to raise as much money as possible. You can create a team for your family, friends, workmates or school. You can choose to build one team fundraising page for everyone to share, or let each person build their own page.

You need to be over 16 to be a team leader and ensure anyone under 16, has parent or guardian approval. If you are up for the challenge, please click below.

When creating a team fundraising page you have two options.

Option 1 – Single team page

A single web page for all team members to share. All Team member names are listed on the web page once they register to join the team. Joining the team is password protected by the team leader during the set-up process. When people donate to a single team page they can choose which team member they are supporting from a drop down menu.

Option 2 – Team with many pages

Each team member builds their own fundraising page when they register to join the team, but the team name and team total also appears on each page. Joining the team is password protected by the team leader during the set-up process. In a team with many pages, team members are listed on the team leaders page only.

Personalise your fundraising page style

A style is a theme for your fundraising page. Choose from four different styles and select choose style.

You may preview your fundraising page and select Create my page – next before your fundraising page becomes live (Accessible by your family, friends and colleagues).

Fundraising page

What is an individual?

An individual is someone who is creating a fundraising page on their own for a charity or cause.

What is a team?

This is where two individuals get together to raise money and create one fundraising page that represents the whole team. The site will need a team or group leader to create the page on their behalf. A team can represent a family, friends or a school for example.

What is a corporate or company team?

This is where a group of employees representing a company, create a fundraising page to raise funds for a charity or cause..

How can I support a friend's fundraising page?

If you receive an email from a friend about their fundraising page, you can use the hyperlink contained in it to take you directly to their personal fundraising page. Don't forget to leave a message of support or inspiration for your fundraiser when you donate. It means a lot.

What do you do with the money I've donated?

We utilise a secure, fast, real time payment processing service provided by Technology Trust. That means your payment is processed immediately and deposited into charity accounts on a daily or weekly basis.

Will I receive a tax receipt?

Every donation will receive a payment advice via e-mail to the e-mail address provided at the time of donation.

If the charity you have donated to has tax deductible status, you'll receive a tax deductible receipt via a separate email. It's therefore important you provide the correct email address at time of donating to ensure you receive your tax receipt.

Tax receipts will be issued in the name of the credit card holder!

Can I cancel my fundraising page?

Yes. If you wish to cancel your fundraising page contact us immediately and your page will be removed. If you already have received donations on your page, unfortunately these cannot normally be refunded. All donations made to your fundraising page are collected immediately and paid promptly to the charity.

Can I collect donations offline ?

We can only authorise you to collect donations online through your fundraising page and by using our email facilities. If you wish to conduct other fundraising activities offline for your favourite charity or cause, please contact the organisation directly.

Can I create more than one fundraising page at a time?

You can create more than one fundraising page at a time, for as many charities or causes as you wish. If you are under the age of 16, you must obtain your parent or guardian's written permission each time you create a fundraising page for a different charity or cause.
